John Deere 772G Motor Grader
A powerful six-wheel-drive motor grader designed for demanding road construction, site preparation, heavy grading, maintenance, snow removal, and large-scale earthmoving applications. The John Deere 772G combines a 275 hp / 205 kW PowerTech PSS 9.0L diesel engine with 22,453 kg / 49,500 lb of blade pull, an 8-forward/8-reverse PowerShift transmission, 360° circle rotation, and a heavy-duty 14-ft-class moldboard. Its articulated frame, front-wheel lean, all-wheel drive, and advanced hydraulic controls provide strong traction, precise grading performance, and excellent maneuverability on demanding jobsites. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
